FOSS

If Uniden had gone with FOSS

they would have the best, the VERY BEST radio software known to man and nobody would be upset. . .at no cost to them.

Just sayin'

This radio really is the best prosumer model available. So its really a shame that so many people have difficulty operating them.

In my egg-spurt opinion this guy

has the best tutorials on youtube

I have setup OpenVPN on linux and while it isn't all that hard, unless you have linux/unix experience, it is not a very easy process to follow.

I would suggest replacing your router with an ASUS brand and install asuswrt. OpenVPN is built into the firmware and you can have it up and running in a very short time.

But does it stream audio over the VPN?

Does audio stream ok over that setup?

I have setup a gazillion VPN and while the remote control works there is no audio,

I can't seem to get a definitive answer from anyone including Uniden about whether this is going to work or not, I know I've wasted a lot of time on it.

I guess I must be giving up because I'm looking on eBay and Amazon now for the Whistlers.

You're not stupid

IT STILL DOES NOT WORK RIGHT
Audio clipping
Audio artifacts from previous transmissions
